Currently, Epic Games Store is featuring two free games: Project Winter and Samorost 2.

Another indie title is also making waves — Cherophobia, a psychological horror, recently released by a small development team known for their horror games.

‘Very Realistic Game Dev Simulator’ Offers Gameplay Around Game Development

According to its developer, Worst Event Games, Very Realistic Game Dev Simulator is a short first-person game. Its gameplay revolves around utilizing a developer’s PC to simulate various aspects of the game development process, including handling bugs and glitches. While the game is expected to retail for approximately $2 USD on Itch.io, it is currently available for free until September 25. Fans can also support the independent team through donations.

Developer Worst Event Games has primarily focused on releasing indie horror games, but this latest simulation project ventures into a different genre. Their previous work, Cherophobia, gained popularity among streamers and received a Mostly Positive rating on Steam. Their latest title is also garnering favorable feedback, especially from users with real game development experience. One user commented on the game’s Itch.io page: “Honestly, as a dev, this was painfully accurate—bugs, doubts, and endless chaos.”

For those seeking additional free games on Itch.io, several titles like Mr. Brocco & Co., Blacklist Mafia, The Brave Little Cloud, and Carlos the Taco are currently available. Players can claim these by visiting the IndieGala Freebie page, though it’s noteworthy that Very Realistic Game Dev Simulator might not appear there, requiring a direct link access.

In the upcoming days, Steam is predicted to offer games like 911 Operator and The Deed, while the Epic Games Store will provide Eastern Exorcist and Jorel’s Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy for free from September 25 to October 2.
